FAQ

Q: How do I know when to replace the batteries?

A: The LED indicator will turn red when the batteries need to be replaced.

Q: Can I use the device with only one channel active?

A: Yes, you can adjust each channel individually, allowing for single- channel use if needed.

• As a musician and/or singer, whether you’re performing live, rehearsing with a band, or recording in a studio, you need to hear both yourself and the other musicians. But just as importantly, you need to have control over what you hear.
• Everyone hears differently from their perspective, so everyone needs to have control over their mix.
• Ideally, you’d have a monitor engineer—but in most situations, you or another band member are likely controlling the monitor mix from the stage. A sound technician at the other end of the room has the control, but it’s hard to communicate with them during a show. Instead of having a fixed monitor mix from the board, PX allows you to set up a simple three-channel monitor mix that allows you to adjust the levels that matter to you the most—on the fly.
• For example, one knob could control your vocal level, one could control your instrument level, and another could be a sub-mix of other vocals and instruments.
• With the PX system, control of that balance is always within reach, and always adjusted perfectly to your liking!

TROUBLESHOOTING

NO SOUND

• Check that the audio source is connected to PX-B and sending the signal
• Check that the EC25 cable is connected to PX-A and PX-B
• Check that input 1, 2, and 3 volume controls on PX-A are not turned all the way down
• Check that the main volume knob/power switch is turned on
• Check that earphones/headphones are properly connected
• Check that the left and right channel switches in the battery case are not all set to the off position

NO POWER

• Check that the PX-A power switch (/volume knob) is turned on
• Check that the power mode switch is correctly set to PoE or AAA battery
• Check that the batteries have been installed correctly
• Check to make sure that the PoE power adapter used is 9V/2A DC center-negative
• Check that the EC25 cable is in working order and connected properly

DISTORTED AUDIO

• Check if the master volume is too high
• Check the levels going in and out of the PX-A mixer
• Verify that each signal is not distorted at the audio source
• Low batteries can cause distortion. Check batteries and replace if necessary.

LOW AUDIO LEVEL FROM THE PX˜A EARPHONE OUTPUT

• Check the PX-A master volume (earphone/headphone output) level
• Check CH1, CH2, CH3 volume levels
• Check output levels from audio sources (e.g. mixing console aux outs)

MULTIPLE CONNECTIONS WITH PX˜H

• The PX-B signal can be sent to up to five PX-A units via the PX-H Hub, to be heard simultaneously by up to five people. You can also stack multiple PX-H units to build a larger system for more than 5 people.

QUICK START GUIDE

1. Connect audio sources
2. Connect ethernet cable
3. Connect to power, using a 9V power supply or two AAA batteries (9V power adapter not included)
4. Set input 1, input 2, and input 3 volumes to 12 o’clock
5. Set the panning of your three channels as desired: left, right, or center
6. Wearing earphones/headphones, turn on the power and slowly adjust the PX-A master volume to the appropriate level. Then, adjust the volume of each channel at the source/s (e.g. aux output levels on the soundboard) to achieve a good starting mix.
7. During performance, adjust channel volumes and master volume on the PX-A as needed.

APPLICATION EXAMPLES
